Ok, so im 15 years old, and I've decided to get into the guitar, and I'm going to a local store to get it. I have these guitars avalible.........both for the same price ........($215)

Ibanez GAX 70
Ibanez GSA 60

then the Ibanez GAX 30 for $165


Which one?!?!?!?!?

Don't play guitar, I think the triangle is more of your instrument. WOOO!

I was thinking a tamborine would be better..

But, just play em all and decide for yourself.

triangle ...do you know how much money those are?!?! just go with the cheapest ibanez on the list ...cause if you dont like guitar in a few weeks/months then you or you parents will still have money

Man, you guys are cold as ice (Rick James). Anyways, I don't know too much about those Ibanez guitars, but since you're a beginner, it really doesn't matter what you get in the beginning, cuz if you continue you're eventually gonna get a better one anyways. I'd say just go for the cheapest.

YOU ARE CORRECT SIR ..you are correct
upgrade after a year or so when your good, but it also seems like your rushing into a decision...you should go to the store and test them first ...if you dont like any of them check out a different store ...and if you find something go online and buy it for less

I thought cold as ice was Foreigner???

Mike

haha took me 4 years before i finaly bought a guitar better than my shitty Squire Bullet. but damn i love my ibanez now



I think cold as ice was a chepelle's show reference

Why not play with yourself?

Nah just kidding, i think they're right, dont matter which one you get, if you get the cheaper one it saves them some money to buy to straps picks strings, that sorta shit. The first guitar is really to get used to it and learn, then in a year when you learn more about them, you will be ready to look for something which suits your style, music ect.

Good luck with it dude.

thanks for the tips guys.............cheap does sound good.............i have played the guitar before.........fell in love with it.....probably cause i have long fingers and its easy to hit strings.

TRIANGLE SOUNDS FRIGGEN SWEET DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO

get an rg series and the music you like to play would help, but its no biggy, id say buy a guitar pack that comes with the little amp and shit i did i got the b.c.rich one then eventually got my rg series ibanez and i love it to death.

oh... im sorry...

Rather go with the cheapest one so you can buy yourself a less shitty amp. I have played a GAX series guitar and didn't like it one bit compared to rg. what music do you want to play? (not that it matters for a while, cuz if you listen to metal, you probably wont be able to play any of your favourite songs for ages anyway!) But it is nice to know that you have a guitar that, one day when you wake up and actually decide to listen to guitar tone, isnt a total piece of shit

At least take a friend that plays a guitar with you when your buying the guitar, so atleast you know their not faulty or have warped necks *shudders*

Not that it matters much considering cheap practice guitars *shudders again*

And make sure you have some money left over to buy an ok practice amp, or an bad practice amp with an distortion pedal *shudders yet again*

I plan on trying to play stuff like AC/DC, and other good rock music.......I already can play most of the Crazy Train Song by Ozzy with a acoustic guitar.

Does the amp really make a big difference? I mean cmon...they are so simply made its retarded

I was looking at a fender amp......15g or 15r, cant remember.......but i was also lookin at some cheap ones on ebay

Yes.

Amp for what?

don't expend your precious money on Amps...

Amps shouldn't matter much when your starting, just make sure you have some distorion of a kind

I'm probably too late, but..

Amps do matter when you're starting. If everything you play is a wish-wash of distortion, you won't be happy and be inspired to continue. I like Peavey amps, check out the Rage 158 or something around that price range. They should be better than a Fender or a Squier amp in the same price range.

I got some pretty good distortion on a little rage 158 amp. It wasnt great, but I was just surprised because it didnt sound like complete shit.

Get the shittier one,that way you'll learn the hard way and when you upgrade to a Rg470,you can play a lot better,yet still play guitars that are shitty and not feel so bad about them.
Everything matters when it comes to sound,even what pick you use

i suggest growing your fingernails and using them...

picks are for pussies

I know im a little late to make any suggestions, but for an amp, check out the Line 6 spider II 15's or 30's. they're pretty fucking sweet.

Dont judge too much on price. Find guitars that are within your price range, play them and decide which you like better. You don't want to be stuck with something you don't like.

Talk to one of the salesmen...They can probably cut you a deal on a guitar that will save you some money. So you could chose a guitar slightly higher than your price range and get a good deal on it.

Yeah.....Thats a bit gross.

why do you say that?

seemin that u have a computer, maybe u should use that as an amp. I ve got a friend who plays through his computer and it sounds pretty neat
